Patent EP-0836143-A3 (EP)
Inventor: DEMOSS ROBERT A
IPC: G06F13/372
Filed: 1997-06-17
Abstract: The invention provides for a method and associated
apparatus for improving the fairness of bus allocation in
association with standard SCSI bus arbitration. The present
invention can provide for a plurality of time slots each of
which define a delay period following the SCSI specified
minimum period before arbitration is allowed to begin. Each
device which requires arbitration on the SCSI bus pseudo-randomly
selects one of the time slots before attempting
SCSI bus arbitration. The device then delays the associated
period of time before commencing SCSI bus arbitration. At
any time before the end of the delay period, if the device
senses that the SCSI bus has again become busy, then the
device has already lost the arbitration without actually
competing therefore. A second device, having selected a
time slot with a shorter delay period, has won control of
the SCSI bus before the first device attempted arbitration.
The time slots are selected with a probability associated
with each slot. To reduce the maximum added delay in
arbitration, heuristic methods are applied to reduce the
number of time slots and assign the probabilities to each
slot for use by each SCSI. A first preferred embodiment
assigns probabilities for up to seven SCSI devices sharing
four time slots. A second preferred embodiment assigns
probabilities for up to fourteen SCSI devices sharing five
time slots. The methods of the present invention may be
embodied in control programs operable within the SCSI
devices or in mounting components (boards, cables and 
canisters) which physically and electronically connect the
devices to a SCSI bus.

Abstract: A speech encoding method and apparatus and an audio signal encoding method
and apparatus in which the processing volume in calculating a weight value for
perceptually weighted vector quantization may be decreased to speed up the processing
or to relieve the load on hardware. To this end, an inverted LPC filter 111 finds LPC
(linear prediction coding) residuals of an input speech signal which are processed with
sinusoidal analysis encoding by a sinusoidal analysis encoding unit 114. The resulting
parameters are processed by a vector quantizer 116 with perceptually weighted vector
quantization. For this perceptually weighted vector quantization, the weight value is
calculated based on results of orthogonal transform of parameters derived from the
impulse response of the transfer function of the weight.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes etching hcles through at
least one deposited layer to an underlying structure. A hard mask is deposited on an upper
surface of a device to be etched, the mask is patterned with the aid of a photoresist and
holes are etched in the hard mask. After removal of the photoresist, contact or via holes
are etched through the patterned hard mask in the deposited layer(s) to reach the
underlying structure.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an orifice plate used
for a liquid discharge provided with discharge port for
discharging liquid comprises the steps of preparing a
non-conductive plate having recessed portion formed on
the circumference of the flat portion corresponding to
the discharge port, forming a first conductive material
peelable from the non-conductive plate only in the
recessed portion of the non-conductive plate, forming a
plate member by plating the first conductive material
with a second conductive material by electroforming
method after the formation of the first conductive
material, and obtaining the orifice plate having the
discharge port by peeling off the plate member from the
non-conductive plate. With the method thus arranged,
it is possible to materialize the same precision as in
the glass mask used for photolithography, and make the
variation of orifice areas smaller for the formation of
highly densified orifices.
